Your small scale textile art will never be mistaken for a potholder again!

Small shallow bowl or container to keep beads in (“Altoid” type tins work well)

Some of my classes get taught all the time, some only occasionally. Picture It Framed is a class that is seldom chosen by guilds and I had completely forgotten how much fun it is!

The Illini Country Stitchers are a happy and fabulous group of women who were a blast to have in class!

We spent the morning learning beading techniques and creating a small art quilt then painted gallery wrapped canvases to mount them on.

I also demonstrated a whole bunch of different framing and mounting methods.
